Time and time again, characters attempting to survive in this chaotic galaxy far, far away have found themselves feeling a little worried about a situation.

However, you can be forgiven for thinking that the iconic "I have a bad feeling about this", or another variation of the phrase, didn't actually pop up during The Last Jedi as not a single human or alien creature uttered the statement on-screen.
